The very presence of another version of the Miss Supranational pageant has raised many eyebrows. Several pageant directors have been contacting Missosology about the confusion and asked about our stand on this.

It all started when Carsten Mohr, former employee as Chief Advisor to the President of WBA Panama jumped ship and founded another company with the same name, Ltd instead of S.A and assumed the title of President.

It is important to note that Marcela Yandar - the original President of World Beauty Association based in Panama (founded in 2008) that runs Miss Supranational has given Mr. Gerhard Parzutka von Lipinski the role of Executive Producer.

Mr. Mohr used to work for Miss Yandar as License Manager and was responsible for the franchise fees/licenses of the Miss Supranational pageant. He never had any shares or authority over the trademark of Miss Supranational since its inception. The WBA is S.A. registered in Panama from the very beginning and if you will see the certification of registry - the name is under S.A and not Ltd which was launched by the aforementioned a few months ago.

Mr. Gerhard Parzutka von Lipinski, one of the driving forces behind the Miss Supranational pageant is being supported by most national directors. All former Miss Supranational winners (Oksana, Karina, Monika, Katya, Mutya) swear by Gerhard. For as long as 20 years, Mr. Lipinski's has built decent reputation in the pageant community as director/producer of many events, and some fellow directors who have worked with him can attest to that. Anybody who is serious in the business knows who they have to trust. The people in the organization have long time experience and are well-known & respected in the business.

Miss Supranational in India is not authorized by Marcela Yandar - the original President of World Beauty Association in Panama. Miss Yandar and her team are currently planning out this year's edition of Miss Supranational scheduled for October with the official announcement coming up this month.

The most important/basic thing to know about the 2 Miss Supranational pageant: Miss Marcela Yandar & Mr. Gerhard Parzutka von Lipinski's started in 2009 and will continue on to a 6th edition that will live up the reputation; the other Miss Supranational has nothing to do with the pageant born in 2009. It is a different event who would have a 1st edition and without permission to use the trademark as previously exposed.Missosology will continue to recognize and support just one Miss Supranational pageant under WBA Panama. Their level of professionalism, proven track record & class are without question. With their attorneys in full swing, the general public should be aware that the company is still the same and all directors who have worked with WBA Panama before should know that all information has not changed.

STATEMENT FROM THE MISS SUPRANATIONAL ORGANIZATION AND WORLD BEAUTY ASSOCIATION (WBA), S.A., ABOUT THEIR TRADEMARK

Our organization is very sorry to learn about the unfounded comments created by Mr. Carsten Mohr, a former employee of our company, who by threats, allegations and libel has tried to confuse the beauty pageant community about the organization behind our Miss Supranational TV show.We are also sorry that with said rumors, he tries to discredit and question the reputation of myself and my staff, with over 20 years of experience in the beauty pageant business.

All the allegations presented by Mr. Mohr, and Mr. Marc Russell, - who have not been working for us since September 2013 - are untrue. The Miss Supranational trademark has been duly registered by our organization since the very beginnings and is PROPERTY OF WORLD BEAUTY ASSOCIATION, S.A., based in Panama.

Our company, WBA S.A. is still under the Presidency of Tryny Marcela Yandar Lobon since its inception in 2009, and is still the official organizing company of the Miss Supranational competition.

For months, me and my employees have been the target of personal attacks by Mr. Mohr trying to get control of a brand that does not belong to him, and during these past months he has not been able to prove an ownership he never had, while our organization keeps the record of all property documents and registrations, at a worldwide level.

A truthful owner of a trademark simply cannot go and create another company and domain like Mr. Mohr has done, deciding to engage in a meaningless fight; even by violating the personal privacy of our staff and by disclosing personal details and difamation of our employees' lives, something that is a crime by itself; also by posting, and distributing, personal photos stolen off personal facebook accounts from a dinner me and my staff had in Bangkok with our former Supranational winners from Thailand.

We will not allow these attacks to affect our brand name, our reputation and the status of our competition which took us five years to achieve. We will also not allow that this person discredits and tries to affect our reigning titleholder, Mutya Datul from the Philippines, who has been working with us for months - as seen by her recent trips - and has proven to be worthy of the title.

We want to add that our official website, misssupranational.COM has never been hacked – as claimed by this individual - , and the planning of our 2014 edition is continuing as normal. Contrary to what some publications might have suggested, our competition will not be held in India in August; this is not our organization and this matter is being handled by our attorneys as we speak. I also extend my support to all other beauty pageants. I think it is great that there are so many quality events to choose from today, and that organizers have gone forward - like us - to produce excellent shows and deliver the entertainment our viewers want. Every beauty pageant has to be clean and serious, free of misunderstandings.

We are happy and thankful with the support of excellent professionals in the pageant community who are 100% behind us - our reputation precedes us and no allegations can take this away -, respected people in our community know who to work with; and condemn any actions taken against my company and my employees. We have nothing to hide, nothing to fear.

Lastly, we sincerely wish Mr. Mohr success in all future projects which do not imply the appropiation of our trademark.

Good thing Mohr has isolated himself from WBA Panama.He's been the one responsible for damaging the reputation of MS and the organizers by degrading Miss Earth and Miss International. WBA somewhat got my support with their professionalism in dealing with the issue. Kudos!

oh dear God, when is this gonna end? ? this is not Twitter where you just place "Real" in front of a usernameto claim that it is the real one!

did the original Ms. Supra register for a trademark of its name? ? if yes, then sue the other one! just like that!heck, even Trump sues pageants that have a slight resemblanceto "Universe" in its title especially if it is also for women. .

India is not interested in hosting any Miss Supranational.. It's a fake self declaration by the fake organization.. Times group have denied any of such events.. India will soon go under polls and the approvals and Govt. formalities will take effect only after May 16.. So, the fake organization is trying to malign India's reputation by associating its fake pageant with the country.. I urge all pageant fanatics to not pay heed to such false rumors..

push button si miss philippines a.k.a. miss supranational 2014 (mutya datul) to clear things out that the pageant still functioning, nice to see them they can continue to raise the pageant until now, congratulations to mutya for giving us how the pageant working out.

No offense meant to all the SUPRA fans out there....but I think the only saving grace of MISS SUPRANATIONAL is Mutya.

They can pull off a great show but the org is kinda messy.I hope this drama will end soon.

The only saving grace? Like MS is the only pageant that experiences controversies. The Org may be messy, but the actual pageant is topnotch. Better than some other pageant which hosts their finals on a makeshift runway by the side of dirty pool, gives disgustingly cheap food to the delegates, and forces them to hard labour. Not to mention the obvious host country favoritism.

You're just another Filipino fantard. You just noticed MS because they crowned your precious little (literally!) Mutya. With or without without Filipinos' support, MS would continue to be a reputable, regal and classy pageant where the girls are treated like queens.

Although the case is resolved for now but the road to become a elite pageant circle is still long way to go.

Focus:1. Improving the application/franchise rules and regulation2. Prove to the netizens that Miss Supranational is not a "irrelevant pageant" (just what happened to the results of the poll few months back)3. Convince a major cable TV network like Star World to air the pageant not just Polish, Belarussian TV network and GMA 7 (Philippines).

Please explain the ff: 1. How disgusting is disgustingly cheap food?2. How hard is hard labour?3. Define labour and its difference with a simple activity? 4. Your specification of how little is little and how tall is tall?5. Differentiate logical reasoning with biased reasoning.6. Difference between a fan and a fantard. 7. ...and lastly, how do the Big 5 pageants treats their own queens?

Your "poll" may have said something, but the pageant is not irrelevant. I talked to the FB admins and they said they are tied with UNAIDS in Poland and they are in the process of adopting a cause in Africa.
